Bundesliga Round-Up: Bayern open up four-point gap at the top of the table

Bayern returned to winning ways with a hard-fought victory over Freiburg

Twenty goals were scored on matchday 16 with Robert Lewandowski on target again as Bayern Munich kept their place atop the Bundesliga table as they started creating a gap to the chasing pack.

Though Bayern were pushed hard by Freiburg, the 30-time champions returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory on Sunday.

It was Lewandowski who got the opening goal for the hosts-his 21st goal of the new season- as the Bavarians were desperate to put their recent defeats to Holstein Kiel [in the DFB-Pokal Cup] and Borussia Monchengladbach behind them.

Freiburg nearly caused a stir when substitute Nils Petersen popped up with an equaliser in the 70th minute with his first touch of the game.

Bayern, however, held their collective nerve this time as the ever-efficient Thomas Muller made the most of an assist from Leroy Sane with 16 minutes left on the clock to put Bayern in the lead, which they held on to.

The three points have given Bayern a four-point cushion at the top.

Borussia Dortmund could not follow up their sterling 3-1 away win over RB Leipzig as they were forced to a 1-1 draw against relegation-haunted Mainz 05.

Dortmund are fourth on 29 points while Mainz moved off the bottom of the table into 17th on seven points.

Elsewhere, it was a dream debut start for German-born Nigerian left-back Felix Agu.
